Lung Perfusion

Molecular classification
Physiological Process, Circulatory System Component
01

Overview

Lung perfusion refers to the blood flow through the pulmonary capillaries, enabling gas exchange in the lungs. Optimal perfusion is crucial for delivering oxygen to the blood and removing carbon dioxide. Assessment of lung perfusion is important in diagnosing and managing various respiratory and cardiovascular conditions.
